Build the backup security platform that backs the rest of the industry.
We are a focused, senior team of backup, security, and resilience engineers. The work is technical, the customers are demanding, and the ground truth is recovery — not slide decks. If that sounds like the bar you want to work at, read on.
A small, deliberate team. Real backup problems.
We optimise for senior engineers who have already lived through backup failures, recovery incidents, and ransomware war rooms. Less hierarchy, more ownership.
Work that ships
Tight feedback loops, small batches, real customers. No theatre — what you build this quarter is what customers run next quarter.
Async-first, focus-protected
Remote-first across the UK, Germany, Türkiye, and Europe. Writing over meetings, deep work over status pings — with in-person time where it matters.
High-trust environment
Strong opinions, openly debated. Decisions explained. We hire seniors and treat them like seniors — equity, autonomy, and the right tools.

Careers FAQ.
What does the hiring process look like?
Three stages: an async written intro from us with a take-home or technical scenario, a deep-dive technical conversation with the engineering team, and a final discussion with the founders on values and trajectory.
Usually wrapped in 2–3 weeks. Strong applications get a written reply within a few business days.
Is BackupSec remote-first?
Yes. Engineering, advisory, and platform roles are remote-first across the UK, Germany, Türkiye, and the wider European region. Periodic in-person work for kickoffs, customer engagements, and the occasional team week.
What do you pay?
Senior, competitive base salaries plus meaningful equity. Specific numbers are discussed early — no salary games. We share total compensation transparently with finalists.
Do you sponsor visas?
For senior, high-impact roles based in our active regions — we discuss it case by case. Most current hiring is for candidates already eligible to work in the UK, EU, or Türkiye.
I'm earlier in my career — should I apply?
We currently optimise for senior engineers because the product is at the stage where every hire has to compound the team. We will publish junior pathways once team scale supports them.
